Either way, weigh cost, quality, and peace of mind to make the best choice for your property.

Best of luck

Great to see you getting into the Southeast rental market.Wishing you the best of luck.

The best advice I can give is this: if you weren’t planning on RE would you go to college?

The best way to connect and learn is to be in rooms where it's going down.In terms of captial your best bet is to focus on a primary income that cash flow sufficiently, saving as much as you can and doing something real estate related so you can get familiar with the industry.

So it’s best to get ahead of it before the appraiser does for the 1007.

Given the lack of activity / buyers in the market at this time with rates, would you reccomend holding and renting it until the market is better to sell in? 

Best of luck to you as you go forward. 

Fro the biggest reason, as you said, you own the home for the Best, First years of its life. 

If you aren't going to be living in CR full time as you try to execute the deal I do not think it is physically possible for you to obtain a loan from Scotia Bank and not worth your time to try because the rates are so high.
